Live TV with the
Logitech Revue
The features that we‘ve
mentioned up until now re-
ally don‘t differentiate the
Logitech Revue from any
standard media player. But
the magic phrase here is
HDMI Input!
Most of our readers as-
sociate the HDMI interface
with set top boxes or receiv-
ers only as an output, but
with the Logitech Revue it is
an HDMI input!
Naturally, the manufactur-
er didn‘t limit this interface
as a simple connection be-
tween the box and external
devices, instead, the devel-
opers put a lot of work into
this so that the Logitech Re-
vue can also be used to con-
trol external set top boxes.
As we mentioned earlier
during the course of the in-
stallation, after entering
in your local zip code, you
simply need to select your
TV provider as well as the
receiver model that you are
using. This can be done ei-
ther by selecting the correct
designation or you can iden-
tify the correct image that is
stored in the software of the
Logitech Revue. All of the re-
quired remote control codes
are already preprogrammed
as are the channel lists from
the cable or satellite provid-
ers.
Thanks to this database,
the Logitech Revue can work
with nearly every type of re-
ceiver hardware that a user
might have.
In our tests the picture
quality via the HDMI output
was absolutely outstanding;
we were unable to detect
any difference between the
